Architecturally significant and newly renovated, this mid-century modern home offers design-conscious updates, generous space, and enduring style. Built in the 1960’s, with strong Mid-Century Modern and International Style influences, the home showcases clean horizontal lines, flat roof planes, coursed stone masonry, and an emphasis on proportion, material honesty, and functional zoning over decorative excess. Elevated on a sloped lot, the home achieves privacy, light, and a commanding presence. A wide front porch is tucked seamlessly beneath the main roofline, supported by slender metal posts and softened by a curved masonry stair—an elegant sculptural gesture within the home’s minimalist vocabulary. The exterior's low profile and elongated massing are reinforced by deep fascia lines and long runs of stonework, giving the house a grounded, composed aesthetic. Inside, the home reflects the clarity and logic of mid-century planning. A compact entry opens to a bright living room with a wall of windows and a striking stone-stacked fireplace, anchoring the space without interrupting flow. The adjoining dining area is open yet clearly defined, offering ease of circulation and natural sightlines. New wide-plank engineered hardwood flooring spans the main and lower levels, while new carpeting brings softness to the upstairs bedrooms. The newly renovated kitchen honors its efficient original layout while offering clean-lined cabinetry, white granite countertops, and a full suite of all-new stainless steel appliances, including an induction range, refrigerator, dishwasher, hood, and garbage disposal. Updated finishes reflect a restrained modern aesthetic that complements the home’s architecture. Three bedrooms are located on their own level, zoned for privacy. The primary bedroom features an updated en-suite bath, while the two additional bedrooms share a second renovated full bath, both with refreshed tile, fixtures, and lighting. Original proportions and built-in functionality have been preserved and enhanced, providing practical comfort without compromising design integrity. The finished lower level extends the home’s usable square footage with a large recreation or family room, a second fireplace, and interior access to the attached 2-car garage. The laundry area includes a new washer and dryer, and there’s a dedicated utility/storage zone for additional functionality. Unusually ample storage throughout includes a cedar closet and an oversized storage room that that runs the full size and length of the front porch. The home also benefits from major mechanical upgrades: a new Bosch high-efficiency furnace and central A/C, and a new water heater, providing peace of mind and year-round comfort. Situated in Stanton Heights, the property offers exceptional access to both nature and city life. Just minutes from Highland Park, the Pittsburgh Zoo, and the popular cycling and walking trails along the Allegheny River, the location also places you close to top urban amenities. Nearby Lawrenceville and East Liberty offer some of Pittsburgh’s best restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and grocery options including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Target, and Home Depot. Commuters and professionals will appreciate proximity to major employers and institutions: Google, Duolingo, Bakery Square, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pittsburgh, Chatham University, Carlow University, and key medical centers within UPMC and Allegheny Health Network. Easy access to Oakland, Shadyside, Bloomfield, Aspinwall, and Downtown Pittsburgh make this location ideal for work, school, and cultural life. A rare offering for buyers seeking architecture with integrity and efficient modern updates. Renovated for sale and move-in ready, this home delivers character, quality, and convenience in equal measure.
